[squid-users] Need help. Squid won't start

Aaarrgh! I've been working on getting a squid box up and running
(2.6_STABLE19) and using squidguard as a redirect program. I haven't
even been able to t-shoot squidguard yet as I can't even get Squid to
start. It fails to start no matter what. My config is a pretty
simple one. Default ACLs and default listen port. When I try to
start, it first told me that I needed a visibile_hostname parameter.
Weird, because as I understand it... This is an optional field. So I
added a hostname and tried to start squid again. It hangs for a while
then says it's a no go. I do a debug on the startup and below is the
info I get. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks in advance for the help.
